Concept Deep Dives

Concept deep dives (optional) for users who want more detail than the main guides

These pages go deeper than the “Core” user guides, without requiring you to read contracts.

Not investment advice — This section explains mechanics and risks. It does not recommend any strategy.

How to use this section

• If you just want the basic flow: start with Borrowing & Liquidation.

• If a term is confusing: use the Glossary.

• If you want to understand mechanics and edge cases: use the deep dives below.

Examples are simplified — Numbers are illustrative. They ignore fees, interest, and oracle nuances unless explicitly stated.

• Liquidations & Earn: what happens to borrowers and depositors

• Redemptions: peg defense and borrower impact (with CR examples)

• Looping & leverage: how loops change exposure, CR, and failure modes
